Rural Expansion The cooperative serves 7,820 members across five counties in north central North Dakota and is pursuing fiber expansion partnerships with third parties, including a notable collaboration with Bascom Communications to extend middle-mile fiber. This creates a potential sales avenue for fiber, networking, and related IT services.

Public-Private Partnerships Recent grant activity and partnerships with organizations like Bascom Communications and CoBank indicate an openness to external funding and collaborative projects. This suggests opportunities to offer project financing advisory, grant optimization, and technology deployment services aligned with rural broadband and utility modernization.

Technology Stack Current tech stack includes Drupal, WordPress, Google Cloud, and monitoring tools, signaling a need for managed cloud services, cybersecurity, site optimization, and performance monitoring tailored to a member-owned utility with multi-site operations.

Financial Scale With estimated revenue in the 50 to 100 million USD range and 11–50 employees, the coop represents a mid-market customer profile for IT services, cybersecurity, cloud migrations, and network infrastructure upgrades suitable for scalable engagements.

Community Focus As a consumer-owned utility serving rural communities, there is potential to position solutions for member engagement portals, outage management, CRM for member services, and digital tools that enhance reliability, communications, and emergency response capabilities.
